Giselle & Casey’s Wedding!

SamuelLippke_GiselleGarcia1

I know you’ve been waiting to hear what really sticks out about this wedding and why its going into the memory banks!

1. Giselle and Casey decided to shoot their engagement pictures a week before their wedding day… Casey was a photo major and preferred to print out their favorite images a few days before. I’ve never seen that before!

2. Tequila Shots for toasts. Yes, the bride and groom along with more then half of their guests toasted with some of the finest tequila I’ve ever seen! (Casa Noble Tequla Anejo) Never seen this before!

3. 111ºF- Black suits and smoke billowing from the Pasadena Hills. Never seen this before
4. Vans instead of tux shoes. I love when Couples get married and don’t play by the rules of “Tradition”
5. 9 hour reception! I mean if you have the venue and friends and family ready to celebrate with you, why not make it an all night event!
Every wedding is different, every couple is amazing in their own right, each day that I photograph is a new challenge and a new victory. I love what I do, I love my clients and I love these pictures!
Reception was coordinated by Heather Lee, DJ Eric Trine switched back and forth with the Mariachi band and then a salsa band Ritmo Caliente.
